Original subtitles

My guest today is Irma, who has been cutting hair

in Port Wenn, for how long?

Since I turned 18.

Honey, I could tell you some stories.

- That is why we're here! - It 100 percent is not.

Okay, uh...

I don't even wanna know.

My new talk show, Sofa, So Good

one couch, many stories.

She's a natural, I could talk to her for hours.

I remember that one time

I had a client, won't say who,

- Kimberly Pekoe. - Oh.

She wanted bangs.

I told her, "Honey, I'm not a therapist.

Go work your problems out somewhere else."

Do you have any ailment that needs to be treated?

No, but you could use a trim.

Goodbye, Irma.

And please don't come back until you're sick

or much more interesting.

- Oh. - Who's next?

I've got a story.

You'll never guess where I met my wife.

You're right, I never will.

- Uhh. - It's fine.

- Thank you. - Have a good day.

Martin, we need to talk to you.

Oh, good, you guys could be guests on Sofa, S...

So not happening, last thing I need

is a bunch of healthy people hanging around here.

Do you even hear yourself?

You know that's not what I meant.

We are all very concerned about Joe.

I have no idea who you're talking about, but if he's sick,

have him come see me in an hour, I have some errands to run.

Joe is a very important part

of the Port Wenn community.

Yeah, he-he lives on his own on a farm.

- Nice guy, but... - Loves my lobster bisque.

Never tried it. Seemed heavy.

- Excuse me? - Honey, not now.

Joe has some mental health challenges.

Which he manages fine with medication.

- I'm glad to hear it. - Well, no-no.

He-he, comes to town every month for supplies.

- Mm. - But he didn't show up.

Right, that's why we have phones.

So give him a call.

No, Martin, Martin, Martin, listen.

Dr. Reese always went out to visit him

and make sure that he was taking his medication.

It's the only person he'd listen to.

That's why you've got to go talk to him.

First of all, I'm not Dr. Reese,

so this mysterious Joe

is not gonna care what I have to say.

Second, I'm a doctor, not a social worker.

Martin James Best, first, you are the new Dr. Reese,

and since he won't listen to anyone else,

you've got to go out and talk to him.

Secondly, in many small towns,

doctors are often like social workers.

And third, I'm telling you to do this!

Mm.

Fine. Just this once.

Thank God. Now, you need to know,

Joe plays a special role here.

Yeah, see, his father, he was a lovely man, really...

Nope, I'm stopping you right there.

No, but we do think you need to know...

- Do you want me to go or not? - Yes, go.

I'll text you the address.

Okay, everyone, get excited

because tomorrow we're gonna have our super cool presentation

about the study of the stars and the planets,

which is called what?

- Astronomy. - That's right!

Okay, okay.

See you tomorrow with my... presentation,

if I can get this stupid Smart Board to work.

You know what was great?

- Regular whiteboards. - I can help.

Ooh!

Peter likes the teacher.

- Suck up, nerd. - I'm just trying to help.

Okay, okay, that's enough. That's enough, get outta here.

We'll talk about this tomorrow. Peter, thank you so much.

I will absolutely take you up on your help, okay?

You know, just... just work your

clickety-clackety magic.

Whoa, how did you do that?

Uh, space bar.

Oh.

Your astronomy slides look awesome.

Oh, thank you.

- Can't wait for class tomorrow. - Yeah, me either.

But don't tell anybody I said that.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello, I'm Dr. Best.

You must be the new Dr. Reese.

That is correct, and you must be Joe Bruck.

You want a taste?

- Oh, no, thank you. - Are you sure?

I find it tastes best when it comes right out of the earth.

Yeah, or out of a saute pan with garlic,

or just, I don't know, washed.

You're not much of a gardener, are you?

- No. No, I don't like dirt. - I love it.

Got my vegetables, my flowers, my herb garden.

I... it just really relaxes me.

I'm delighted for you.

So, people from town asked me to come see you?

A bunch of busybodies, aren't they?

- Oh, yes, they are. - Always chattering away.

They remind me of the chickens in my coop.

It's relentless.

It's why I live all the way out here.

I... just prefer my own company.

Hm, that's the smartest thing I've heard all day.

Anyway, I took a look at your file on the way out here,

and I understand that you're on medication for anxiety

and depression, right?

Sometimes I get agoraphobic.

Did you go off your meds?

Yeah, they make me tired, and I just have so much to do.

Speaking of which, you sure you don't want anything?

How about a squash?

This time of year, I can't give this stuff away.

Yeah, and that's gonna continue to be true.

Did you consult with a doctor first?

No, I...

Other than Dr. Reese I don't really care for doctors.

Me neither.

So, Joe, as I'm sure you're aware,

going cold turkey can bring about

some pretty rough side-effects on their own.

Guess that's why I don't feel like leaving my property.

Now, you seem to me like a reasonable man.

Thank you. I am.

Now, I can talk to you about

winding down off your medications

and connect you with a psychiatrist,

but in the meantime,

just to keep the chickens from squawking...

what do you say you go back on your meds?

Okay, I will.

Now, how do you feel about weeding?

'Cause I don't get a lot of people around here

I feel like I can talk to.

Yeah, I'm... I'm so sorry, but I-I have patients

that are, that are waiting, I-I just...

Oh, yeah, sure. All business, I get it.

So, I heard from a little birdie

that you have a wild story to tell us.

So, I was with friends,

and I had ordered a Hawaiian pizza,

and instead they brought over a Gorgonzola one.

A Gorgonzola!

Those are different.

- Hey, that was live. - And now it's dead.

What? That was one of my best stories.

- I tell it on every first date. - Is there ever a second?

Hey, how did it go with Joe?

Fine. He said he'd take his meds.

Really? You sure?

Yes, really, why is everyone...

What?

What happened?

Oh, crap!

Crap!

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no!

No! Ah!

No, no, no!

Baby, get out, close the door! Close the door!

- Closing it. - My God!

Well, Martin...

did you talk to Joe?

Yes, he said he'd take his meds.

Now, can we talk about how I'm a doctor with no electricity?

Did you see him take them?

No, I didn't, but I have no reason not to believe him.

Doc, nobody does what they say they're gonna do!

Again, the more pressing issue is that

electricity makes things work.

You know, things like EKGs, nebulizers, pulse oximeters.

Well, if you'd have let us finish explaining yesterday

instead of criticizing my lobster bisque,

you would've had the information that...

Honey, still not the time.

Joe is in charge of the power grid.

- Duh! - What?

Ugh!

He comes in once a year to reset the grid,

and it's that time of year,

and he's the only one who knows how,

and that's why it's so important

that he leaves the house.

Are you telling me that Port Wenn's

entire electrical grid

hinges on the moods of Joe Bruck?

We're a small electrical co-op.

Lots of small towns run on grids like ours.

We've never had an outage, till now.

Storms, blizzards, never.

You see, we love Joe, and we were concerned about him,

but also, he keeps us running.

Yeah, and you were supposed to keep Joe running.

So, now you're saying I'm somehow responsible

for keeping the lights on?

- Yeah, kinda. - Mm-hmm.

Come on with me.

I'm taking him the things he didn't pick up yesterday.

Sure, I'll fix the power grid.

Half the town's pre-diabetic.

But don't worry, it's not like I'm busy.

"It's not like I'm busy."

Louisa, what can I do for you?

I'm on my way.

I gotta make a stop.

Thank you for coming.

I... I know there's a lot going on.

How-how are you?

The whole town somehow thinks this power situation's my fault.

Well, it is. Just kidding.

Not really.

Oh, no, not you, too.

I know Port Wenn can be a lot,

but I, for one, am glad that you are here.

Well, that is a bold and unpopular opinion,

but I appreciate it.

Now, prepare yourself.

Uh, uh-uh-uh.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

So, he shoved the whole apple in his mouth?

Macintosh got your tongue?

He was trying to make the other kids laugh.

You know, fit in with them.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna need you to hold real still, okay?

I'm gonna have to remove some of the apple surgically

before we can safely remove the rest.

All right.

And trying to fit in was your first mistake.

Fitting in is a refuge for the uninteresting.

Who said that?

I did, just now.

Oh, I thought it was a quote from someone

who didn't get invited to parties.

Well...

Hm.

Now we're just... almost done.

- And there we go. - Oh!

- Ah. - Yeah.

Well, most avoidable procedure I've ever done.

Thank you.

Ice your jaw and stick to soft foods for a few days.

Oh, and one more thing, Peter.

In our limited interaction,

it's clear you're an exceptionally bright child

who outshines most of his peers...

which means you probably won't meet

your real friends until college.

Yeah. Learn to enjoy your own company

and don't be so desperate to win these kids over.

You think I'm desperate?

C-c-can we talk outside for a moment?

All right, we'll be right back.

Okay. Just quick second.

- Uh... what was that? - What was what?

You can't tell a child that he'll never make any friends.

- I said until college. - He's eight.

Do I really have to explain this to you?

Hey, I wish someone had told me that at his age,

because it's the truth.

It's probably the best advice he'll ever get.

Ah...

Okay.

Hey, Joe, how you feeling?

We brought all your stuff from town.

- Mind if we chat? - I know why you're here.

I don't have electricity, either, you know.

Well, we're also concerned about you, you know that.

Sure. And why are you here?

Don't you have patients to tend to?

- Well, actually, I do. - Martin.

And as a doctor, I-I wanna also confirm

that you took the meds as we discussed.

Just don't pretend, you're both just here

'cause you want me for the grid.

That's not true, I-I-I wanna make sure...

Right, as a doctor.

The truth is, you don't like people.

You don't like me. I don't like you.

What in the world does liking someone

have to do with anything?

I took an oath to help people,

not to go to their birthday parties.

- I... - And here we go.

Screw you!

- Nice work. - What?

What's going on?

Oh, hey, doc.

Just setting up a generator.

We had an old one in the shed. Just got it running.

Yeah, first responders get priority, so...

Hmm, sound decision. I appreciate it.

Well, of course, you'll be renting it from us,

but, don't worry, you'll get the friends and family rate.

Hmm.

Touching.

Thank you.

What in the...

- Will you turn that off? - Why are you yelling?

I'm in the middle of a very hot text situation.

- Hot text situation? - Yes, gee.

I need to call my mother in Florida.

Are you kidding me?

You're all already here for my electricity.

- Elaine! - Just leave me alone.

Well, do you think that there's one underneath the desk?

- Excuse me. - Oh, my God.

- Don't touch me, perv. - What?

Hey, where can we plug this baby in?

- Obviously not here. - You don't understand.

We need to keep our inventory cool,

or it will spoil.

I'm not wasting our limited power on hair dryers

and... hot dogs.

Hot dogs?

Try lobster and leafy greens, sir.

Try getting your own generator.

You think we haven't tried?

Handyman's Heaven out on the interstate

is completely sold out.

- And no one else has one, hm? - Never needed one.

Dr. Reese always got Joe to take his meds.

You know what? That's it.

Everyone out! Mm-hm.

We're saving our power for emergencies only.

- This is an emergency! - You might need a sedative.

Doc, doc, I talked to the county.

Oh, fantastic. When are they sending someone?

- Few days, minimum. - No!

Yeah, I don't think we have that kind of time,

so I'm gonna go check the file again

and see how Dr. Reese got Joe to take his meds.

Doc!

Doc, doc, what should I do?

Did you find anything else in the notes?

Is there anything else Dr. Reese did for him?

Hypericum perforatum.

Does that make Ron Weasley disappear?

No, it's Latin for an herb called Saint John's wort.

Okay, maybe Dr. Reese prescribed that to Joe

instead of his medication.

Some people like the herbal stuff better.

Well, there's no harm in giving it a try.

Okay.

Come on, folks, let's not have a riot!

But seriously, if you don't figure this out,

there will be a riot.

It's okay, man. It's okay.

Louisa?

- Mark? - Yeah, hi.

I recognized your silhouette. That sounded weird.

Um, what are you doing?

Oh, I'm just walking around, checking on folks,

making sure they're okay.

Geneva hasn't been...

Feeling so great lately.

I thought the exact same thing.

That's really nice of you.

- Well, should we? - Yes. Yeah, totally.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Well, you go. You go.

Hi, Geneva.

It's Sheriff Mark and Louisa.

- Which is nice. - Nice.

Just checking in, seeing how you're doing.

Yeah.

Oh.

- Oh, no! - No.

Okay, I'm calling Dr. Best right now.

Oh, what happened?

- Hey. - It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Do you carry tinctures?

Homeopathic nonsense for people who don't like science.

Now, now, I feel it's always good to keep an open mind.

- Which one? - St. John's wort.

Ooh, nature's antidepressant.

Why, yes.

Are you sad?

I know just how it feels to be all alone...

in a crisis.

Thank God.

This is Dr. Best.

I see.

I'll be right over.

- Just put this on my bill. - Stay safe out there.

I'll come check on you later.

Please don't.

Dreamboat.

Well, that's, um...

That's quite a laceration.

Yeah, I went out to the garage to get my good flashlight,

and I hit my head on a ding-dang screw

sticking out the side of the cabinet.

I-I don't need those lights

shining in my face while I'm, while I'm working.

But don't you need to see the wound, doc?

Nope, you can just turn them away.

Y-you know, if you could just move back while we're at it.

- So I just need a little time. - Okay.

A little time, a little space to work.

- I just need... - Oh! Oh, gosh, yeah.

No, no, I'm good, I'm good. It's just dark.

Thanks. Thank you.

Well, it's none of my beeswax,

but you two are so darling together.

- Oh, um... - Thanks. I think so, too.

The good news is, uh, we can close this right up.

It'll just take a moment.

Like two peas in a pod.

Are you really not gonna get back together?

This is probably not the time.

Not unless you're gonna change your mind.

- Oh, please. - Silence.

Just need to hold...

sides of the laceration together,

just for a moment.

You know, honey, you're not getting any younger.

- Ah. - And he's such a doll.

Okay. Are you done yet?

I feel like this isn't the time to be talking about my ovaries.

- But, you know... - Just, everyone shut up.

- Okay. - Yep, that's good.

Just keep that on for 24 to 48 hours,

- and we are done here. - Great job. Oh!

Oh, wait. I mean, uh, what-what do we do now?

I mean, have you made any headway with Joe?

Uh, well, I'm gonna see him at his place tomorrow morning

and see if some magic drops

will help convince him to turn the power back on.

I'll go with you, doc. You might need backup.

- I'm sure I won't. - Sorry, I insist.

Things could get nasty. Pick you up first thing.

Really great work tonight, boo.

Damn it! I should not call you boo.

I love when he calls you boo.

Goodnight, Martin. Goodnight, Mark.

Just, uh...

All right, well, uh...

keep that dry.

Come see me in a few days, and the state of your garage

sounds like a death trap.

We could play gin rummy.

Oh, I love gin rummy.

Ah!

What's the matter with you? You scared me half to death.

Well, at your age, that milkshake

will take care of the other half.

Besides, you broke into my house.

It's not breaking in if you're family.

That's definitely not true.

We wouldn't be in this situation

if you'd just listened to me in the first place

and been a little nicer to Joe.

Or you all could have just,

I don't know, updated the power grid.

I'm so sorry we're not all as perfect as you, Martin,

but you know, people are complicated and messy,

but everyone matters.

Sometimes you just have to show a little grace

and meet 'em where they are.

Thank you for the life lesson.

Now, how about you save my electricity

and your arteries and go home?

If I'd been a real burglar,

that wing tip wouldn't have done jack squat.

I'd prefer a real burglar, they'd be quieter.

Doc, I stubbed my damn foot

in the dark.

Hey!

What? I've got sensitive skin.

It's called folliculitis.

It's called trespassing.

Out!

Thanks, I'll look like crap now 'cause of you, doc.

Elaine!

Blackout, day two.

Um, last night was terrible.

I just laid awake in bed

with nothing to look at.

My phone was cold and dead,

and then the next thing I know, like, it was the morning.

In other words, you accidentally got a good night's sleep.

That makes one of us. Now, unplug that.

- Ready to roll, partner. - Again, I don't need a partner.

I-I'm just going to Joe's house

to drop off the St. John's wort.

Okay, wait, then I'm coming with you.

Zero percent chance that will be helpful.

So I should just sit here and wait to die?

- But nobody's dying. - Shotgun.

This is great, right? Buds on a mission.

Should I hit the siren on the way out there?

Definitely not.

Okay, I'm just gonna offer him the tincture.

You stay in the car, both of you.

Wh...

Backup. We discussed this.

Just...

Joe. Are you here?

- Boys, how you doing? - Fine.

Our inventory, not so much.

We're all in the same boat.

And I think there's only one thing to do...

Modernize our power grid?

Martin is right about that.

But the other thing is... potluck!

Everybody makes their favorite dish,

and we make a party out of it.

Hardly an occasion for a party.

Adios avocados!

Ciao cherries...

- Toodaloo tomatoes... - Honey, we get it.

No, no, no.

We make lemonade out of lemons.

Ah-ah!

We break out the karaoke machine...

it's battery-operated, okay?

And sing our troubles away!

Oh, my God!

This is gonna be so much fun!

Fine.

He will use any excuse to sing I'm Still Here.

I know.

Joe?

- Are you here? - No.

Hi, Joe.

Is this what you've been like since the last time I saw you?

Go away. What do you care?

Well, I'm concerned, Joe.

I... I brought a tincture.

Hypericum perforatum?

What are you talking about, Dumbledore?

St. John's-wort.

Yeah, it's a lovely flower, but I don't know what a tincture is.

Dr. Reese never gave it to you for depression?

When you decided you didn't like taking your regular meds?

No. And there you go, talking about meds again.

Joe. I wanna ask you some questions.

Have you been eating? Sleeping?

Have you found a lack of enjoyment

with activities that you would normally...

Let me just stop you there, doc. I've taken

this questionnaire a thousand times.

I'm eating fine, I'm sleeping fine.

I haven't had thoughts of harming myself, I promise.

I just really don't want to leave this couch,

like, ever again.

Hey, Joe.

But what about your garden?

Like... don't you need to weed it and pick things.

I know that your carrots miss you, buddy.

Yeah, I know it's pretty bad

if I don't even really wanna be around my plants.

I mean, they're usually the only things

that'll make me feel better.

What do you mean the only thing that makes you...

Joe...

Listen, just come out and fix the grid, okay?

'Cause I'm freaking out super hard

so anything bad that I might do

is gonna be your fault, over.

Get out. You guys are terrible at this, by the way.

Get out. Get out.

- Joe. - Get!

I know that we should not have brought her.

You told me to bring her.

Elaine, thank you so much.

You were such a great help.

To be honest, I think you could have handled that better.

What are you doing now?

Going back to Joe's file.

There's got to be some way I can help him.

What is it with this St. John's-wart?

He said it's a nice flower.

- What does that even mean? - Why are you asking me?

I know it's in his file somewhere.

Hello? Hello?

Oh, hi, Geneva. Is everything going okay?

Perfectly fine.

I-I just wanted to thank you.

Oh, my gosh. Is this your stovetop

apple upsidedown cake?

Yes, the very one.

Oh, that is so nice.

Let me grab us some plates.

That is like my favorite cake in the whole world, seriously.

How do you get the texture so yummy and crunchy?

Oh, it's the crushed pecans.

Oh.

Would you like a piece?

- I don't eat sweets. - Oh.

Well, I just wanted to thank you.

You came out in the middle of the night.

You're my hero.

See?

That's how things work around here.

You do something nice for somebody

and you plant a seed

and maybe they bring you a gift the next day,

or maybe years pass by before, before they...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You reap what you sow.

I don't know what that means.

You reap what you sow...

Thank you.

And you're welcome.

Oh.

What are you doing here again?

I honestly have no idea.

St. John's-wort. That's pretty.

Yes, they're, they're there for you.

As a, you know, a gift.

Yeah, as a, for your garden.

Good. Now could we talk about your med...

Let's go plant 'em.

- Excuse me? - Come on.

So, you and Dr. Reese used to garden together?

Yeah, he liked hanging out with me.

Right.

Okay, then. Well, do you possibly have a pair

of gardening gloves I could borrow?

No. Dr. Reese and I never use those.

The fun is feeling the soil in your bare hands, you know?

Right. Don't. Yeah. That is fun.

Let's get you started with some manure.

Yes, let's...

Yes.

You put those about three inches apart

and then I'll cover them later.

Right, three inches.

You know, you'd be surprised how many doctors like to garden.

And electrical engineers, it helps them

get out of their head, you know.

Mm.

My grandfather is the original

electrical engineer in the family.

He built the grid back in the '30s

and he started the electrical co-op.

My dad took it over and, I mean, he started quizzing me

on how it worked when I was still in grammar school.

That sounds irritating.

How about your dad?

Not a gardener.

He's a doctor, like me.

So get your own family traditions.

That's nice.

He was very busy,

so we didn't spend a lot of time together.

We're not particularly close.

That looks good.

Well, that just about does it.

I'll finish up the planting tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Mm.

Well. Listen, Joe, we need to talk

about you going back on your meds.

Yeah. Okay. You're right.

So... this is all you needed?

Just this?

I have a hard time trusting people.

I'm gonna send you a bill for my dry cleaner.

- Big finish! - I love that song so much.

Okay, and now the performance

you've all been waiting for,

a perennial favorite

here at Karaoke Night at The Salty Breeze...

Oh, sweetie, you just went.

Right.

I couldn't resist!

Ooh...

Mark! Mark! Mark!

Mark! Mark! Mark!

Mark! Mark! Mark!

You're all being so goofy.

Mark! Mark! Mark!

Mark! Mark! Mark!

They really are a great couple.

But you never know,

there might be somebody out there even better

for both of them.

- How's it going? - Uh, super terrible, obviously.

Sofa so good. Could have been my breakthrough.

And now I'm sitting here, bleeding fans like an idiot.

That sucks. Really.

But luckily you don't need to have a talk show

just to be able to talk.

What? Talk to who?

I was thinking that you and me could have a conversation.

A conversation?

What is this, Spanish class?

- Okay, just an idea... - Okay, sorry.

Fine, fine, fine. Sorry.

Sorry. I know it's not as entertaining

as sitting two feet across from each other and texting,

but here goes.

Okay, ready? What is your favorite animal?

- Unicorn. Next question. - Unic... What?

I like that answer, actually.

- What's your favorite animal? - Uh, I like a shark...

when I'm feeling mean.

Will you just go away?

Just go away and leave me alone, dog. Go.

Is that your dog?

No.

Hey, Peter.

Yesterday when I said that trying to have those kids

like you was desperate, I, uh... misspoke.

It's not desperate to wanna have friends.

It's normal.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, uh...

I... apologize.

Okay. But sticking that apple in my mouth

was pretty desperate.

So, telescope, huh?

Do you have a favorite planet?

What's your dog's name?

Oh, he's not my dog.

- He seems like your dog. - I-I assure you he's not.

You were telling me about the planets?

C-F-B-D-S-I-R-2-1-4-9.

I beg your pardon?

It was ejected from its original system.

It just wanders in space alone.

Astronomers call it "the loneliest planet."

Wow, astronomers sound like a real blast to hang out with...

Copernicus!

Apparently, now we're just

playing "Name the Astronomer," hm?

No, that should be what you name your dog.

Copernicus figured out...

The Earth revolves around the sun,

not the other way around.

I could walk Copernicus sometimes,

if you'd pay me five bucks.

Uh, or not. I could do it for free.

Oh, shoot. Do I sound desperate again?

No.

You're good.

We did it! We brought the lights back on!

I'm sorry, everybody. Um...

I think it was too soon for Cruising.

I'm not ready for the friend zone yet, okay?

Mark.

It's finally over.

You survived. Congrats.

You know that I totally yelled at the doc today.

You know what that means, right?

Uh... he fired you again.

I saved this town.

I guess you did. Congrats.

I told you there's nothing that you can't do.

You probably want to go charge your phone, right?

Could have another round first.

- Oh. - Of the drink...

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Mark.

Hey, um...

What, uh...

whatcha doing in here?

Not everybody sings like that together.

You understand that, right?

Yes. Our, our voices blend

like the colors of a glorious sunset.

We both love Turkey Taco Tuesdays.

We both think that cilantro tastes like soap.

We both don't like it when our food touches on the plate.

We both hung in there for Pretty Little Liars

for way too long.

We both love it when the leaves turn color,

and helping people put up their Christmas lights,

and getting up early, and workin' out,

and crushing karaok and makin' a difference.

I think you're very hot when you're dressed up,

I think you're very hot when you're in your old-ass pajamas

and your bunny slippers.

And I know...

I know that my jokes are dumb,

but they made you laugh.

And your laugh is like... It's like...

it's like my favorite sound in the whole wide world, Louisa.

So I just don't get it, man.

I don't get it. Like, is that not enough?

Mark... I know, Mark.

I-I-I know all of that.

And you're right. There...

there were so many great things.

I... and I miss karaoke.

- I-I miss your jokes. - So just come back.

Mark...

I know. I know I shouldn't have said that. I'm...

Whatever that, that thing was

that was missing, it just...

it just didn't seem fair to keep going

if it, if it wasn't right.

But it was right for me.

I know.

I just thought that we were gonna

grow old together, you know?

Me too.

Is there any way that we can just accept

that we're both... good people

that... love each other a lot

and that this is really hard

and we're doing our best?

- I could try. - Okay.

Karaoke night's gonna suck without us.

Damn straight.

See? It's faint, but it's right there, near the Pleiades.

So it's not so lonesome after all.

Yeah, maybe not.
